  • Publication number: 20240043452
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of synthesizing copper (I) 5-nitrotetrazolate. The method involves a series of interconnected steps. Initially, a stock solution of sodium 5-nitrotetrazolate is prepared in water from 5-aminotetrazole nitrate, which is then preserved for later use in producing copper (I) 5-nitrotetrazolate thereby eliminating the need for immediate utilization. A nascent Copper (I) chloride is prepared separately. In a single step, the stock solution of sodium 5-nitrotetrazolate is coupled with the nascent copper (I) chloride, resulting in the formation of copper (I) 5-nitrotetrazolate.

Also disclosed are prodrugs of these 5?-substituted nucleoside monophosphates. After administration, the prodrugs can be metabolized to release their corresponding 5?-substituted nucleoside monophosphates.

  • Publication number: 20240043469
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the surprising discovery that previous hemoglobin-based drug purification methodologies do not remove sufficient endotoxins exposures at the various steps which may complex with the hemoglobin protein. These complexed endotoxins can result in serious health complications (e.g. development of cardiac lesions for one). Additionally, varied endotoxin types and concentration contributes to batch-to-batch variability during hemoglobin-based drug manufacture. Endotoxins are not as much of an issue for peptides as compared to larger protein complexes. Accordingly, the instant disclosure is directed to a purification process using single use systems in many process steps including high performance chromatography systems thereby removing endotoxins while keeping processing costs low.

  • Publication number: 20240043487
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel interleukin-21 (IL-21) mutant protein and use thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to an IL-21 mutant protein that has improved properties, such as a reduced binding property to an IL-21 receptor and improved druggability, compared to wild-type IL-21. The present invention also provides a fusion comprising the IL-21 mutant protein, a nucleic acid encoding the IL-21 mutant protein or the fusion, and a vector and a host cell comprising the nucleic acid. The present invention further provides a method for preparing the IL-21 mutant protein or the fusion, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, and therapeutic use.
